All that said can we get back to the facts , there’s too much speculation here.
I’d be happy if the revelations here lead to schiit making a better job of manufacturing and measured performance, they are free to donate to ASR in loo of our fee for the consultation we have provided
You are right, they really should have them... one of my family friends used to do testing for corporations and his desk was filled with various electronic testing tools. Although he was a contractor and he was sent first runs of products or products from new facilities to make sure the job was done right.
As others have said, I am just making statements based on my own experiences. Lower paid workers are lower paid workers usually for the reason that their tasks are simpler and they typically have less responsibility or liability (although its not always the case, some are just UNDERPAID). But we cannot say what they might be paid, but based on how the guys from Schiit act on forums.... they think that they are gods and that nobody else can touch them. I doubt that those employees are "so fairly paid" (even though I'm not sure what that would mean, since doing QC like listening to music is a "fair" $15/hr task and its likely that they spend less than 10 minutes with each device. Meaning 10 units per hour, $15/hour = $1.5 per unit QC.
yes sorry, lets ask them for a donation as we have done a great technical analysis of their corporation and these sorts of consultations are typically quite expensive. Some people charge hundreds of dollars an hour for them!All that said can we get back to the facts , there’s too much speculation here.

Thomas, the entire train of thought is pretty insulting in regards to people, workers salary etc. Who thinks like this? Sounds like third world manufactures and what they think of employees. smh sorry but I find it highly insulting. The salary numbers he is spewing out is the minimum wage in LA!. The fact that it is so easy for someone to imagine this fictitious evil plan for world audio domination by Schiit Audio, shows allot about "their" character not Schiits's!
That is also not totally factual. If you go by percentage all companies will have some QC issues etc. Are you saying all the satisfied customers are clueless? That would be rather hard sell to an outside observer.
The "millions of flies can't be wrong" saying just popped into my mind
Its not at all, its just reality. Their facility isn't in LA and the LA minimum wage is $10.50 and not $12 or $15, just because its an overpriced city in billions of dollars of debt doesn't change the reality of the cost of workers.
Perhaps they thought it sounded good? The relatively poor measurements, which I don't really think they could be considered poor, were either inaudible or did not impact the sound negatively?
Maybe maybe not, we are here to discuss what we ‘ know’ .
Schiit has talked about their workers and their philosophy behind hiring them. it doesn't seem to match what's been insinuated here.
They do have pretty low noise for an R2R DAC.
